Az emberek az üdüléseik alatt szeretnének pihenni, kikapcsolódni, ellazulni, feltöltődni, így a szolgáltatásokban is ezt keresik. Az élmény, a kényeztetés, az egészségtudatosság egyre inkább megjelenik az emberek üdülőhely megválasztását befolyásoló tényezőinél. Mivel az egészségre való törekvés, a relaxáció, a közérzetjavítás az üdülések során mint igény jelenik meg, ennek hatása a turisztikai desztinációk megválasztásakor is érvényesül, valamint a szolgáltatások preferencia rendszerében is visszatükröződik. Mivel az Észak-Alföldön az idegenforgalom szerepe fontos tényező, a kutatásunk során ezen szolgáltatásokat vizsgáltuk, a régió 3-5 csillagos szállodában. 50 szállodát (18 három csillagos, 31 négy csillagos, 1 öt csillagos) vizsgáltunk meg kérdőív segítségével, valamint weblapjuk elemzésével a szolgáltatásaik, és a kínálati elemek tekintetében. Eredményeink azt mutatták, hogy a vizsgált szállodák többségében a relaxációs szolgáltatások, az egyéb közérzetjavító, testápolási szolgáltatások, és orvosesztétikai kezelések különböző mértékbe ugyan, de megtalálhatók. Leggyakoribb a masszázs, ami a szállodák többségének kínálatában megjelenik, de a többi szolgáltatástípusból is széles repertoárt kínálnak a vendégek számára.
Asthma is a serious public health challenge for all age groups around the world. Heightened attention surrounds the use of the natural therapeutic factors that potentially make medication more cost-efficient in the treatment of diseases. Our research has tried to reveal how the medical conditions, quality of life of asthmatic patients change after medical treatments that are accompanied by climate therapy. Asthma patients (514 patients) participated in a 3-week complex therapy at Mátra Health Resort. Beyond medical examinations and treatments, patients were involved in breathing exercises on the curing terraces or outdoors twice a day, they were to attend the rehabilitative physical exercises led by a physiotherapist once a day, were given dietetic and lifestyle advice and provided with diets that were fitted to their individual medical conditions. Their respiratory function was examined before the commencement of the cure as well as after the therapy just before departing from the institution. The patients' exercise capacities were assessed with the 6-minute walk test before the treatment and then 3 weeks later. For the patients, a questionnaire was compiled to reveal information in relation to their conditions in the first 6 months after leaving the institution. Our results show that values of respiratory function in the sample and 6-minute walk test significantly improved with the treatment. After leaving the institute, the results of the Asthma Control Test in the 1st month after treatment revealed a significantly better quality of life and better control-level of patients than after the 3rd month.

Swimming plays a particularly important role in the formation of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and in the preservation of health. The aim of this study was to investigate whether health-based education works through swimming education. A survey was carried out by submitting an anonymous questionnaire to swimming educators (N = 46). The sample consisted of people who teach swimming to primary school pupils: physical education teachers, swimming instructors, lifeguards, and swimming coaches (PE teachers 58.7%, instructors and others 41.3%; men 58.7%, women 41.3%). Both a descriptive and a comparative approach were used to analyze data. Based on their inquiry, the authors determined that, unfortunately, those teaching swimming do not commonly consider it important to form health-conscious behavior in their students. It appears that in teaching swimming to children, the principles that are important for the preservation of health in adult age do not predominate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
